Brick profiles cost a bomb, so what's the alternative?
I've seen these dori-blocks that some brickies swear by http://www.bricklayer.co.uk/shop/Tools/Dori-profile-Block/prod_34.html) which look like they use a 50x50 box section.
You can buy 2500mm lengths here for £15 each - http://www.aluminiumwarehouse.co.uk...Tube/product_info.html?cart_qty=4&spID=315298
The profile clamps seem to be are internal & external 180mm & 300mm would it be better to buy some f-clamps as these have other uses as well.
So two box sections (£30), two dori-blocks (£26) & four f-clamps (£40) or four profile clamps (£40) - total is still £96. Some of the starter brick profile kits aren't much more than this and they have a range of clamps.
I've heard others using 90 degree angle iron so a corner can be built into it.
Are there any other alternatives or can I live without them?
